ok ok ok.... now i have this friend, who really, really needs to get away pronto, was thinking a few weeks in indo, cheap and familiar,. lay low in kuta, do the whole third world gold coast thing.... but winds are lacking, does anyone know of a kite-able spot this time of year, with similar trappings to those of circus indo...?
...stormy south winds on the east coast don't count, and friend was kinda hoping not to have to travel half way round world on plane, and ideally, a place which is difficult to be extradited from would be cool... at least for the next few months... till this whole thing blows over.... thanks

Those librarians can get pretty nasty when you don't return your books on time.

The government says:

We advise against all travel to these countries:
Afghanistan
Burundi
Central African Republic
Chad
Comoros
Iraq
Somalia
Sudan

Destinations for which we advise you to reconsider your need to travel:
Algeria
Angola
Democratic Republic of the Congo (seriously, if you need the word 'Democratic' in the name of your country... )
East Timor
Eritrea
Ethiopia
Haiti
Indonesia
Lebanon
Liberia
Nigeria
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Sri Lanka
Yemen
Zimbabwe

I've heard the island nation of 'Bob' is quite nice. Otherwise, when Greenpatistan is up and running I'll give you a shout.
